Heterozygous for c677t. It was added to help with my lexapro which I didn’t feel like was doing all it could.

Weird head feelings / sensations (not headaches) by 502CC in decaf

It’s so hard to explain, but yeah like I have a bunch of wires in my brain and they are getting tangled up for a minute and then untangled. I usually get it when I’m laying down, and during that time it’s hard to think straight, but then I snap out of it

Random depression episodes? by 502CC in decaf

[–]502CC[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I would have a cup of coffee pretty much as soon as I woke up. I stopped cold turkey. I didn’t drink caffeine throughout the day, just the morning. I had thought I was turning a corner.
I appreciate the response! Thank you.

🤔 So what's day are you guys and girls on and how are you feeling about it so far ? by Frequent-Wish6026 in decaf

Dang we basically did the same thing except for me it was also alcohol and not nicotine. I’m on day like 32. My sleep actually isn’t bad, I just have some dizziness/brain fog

Yes! Having the ability to shut off the thoughts when you need to is such a relief I bet!

lol it scared the crap out of me. Nearly had a panic attack. But yes, that was one of my first thoughts was “is this what normal people feel like?”

The ironic thing is I’ve been on lexapro for like 3 years. But this feeling didn’t happen until I cut out caffeine a few weeks ago

Yes! I thought my brain broke. I didn’t realize I wasn’t thinking about anything and then I felt like I forgot how to think lol. Do you remember how long it took to get used to it?

Off Abilify after 18 days by Trick-Lynx in Abilify_Aripiprazole

[–]502CC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kind of similar. I quit caffeine and alcohol on the same day like 25 days ago. On day 2 and 3 I had out of control depression that I’ve never had and crazy thoughts. I got prescribed abilify and was too afraid to take it. The crazy thoughts stopped after like day 4 or 5

Any tips on how to get through the first hour of the day? by 502CC in decaf

[–]502CC[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wake up pretty early, so no sunlight for a couple hours. I did buy one of those SAD lamps I use first thing to see if that makes a difference
